AMTK 263 (date is guessed) |
| Description: |
This is one of many, many black and whites that I took while living in Plattsburgh. Notice the wreck damage on the nose of this F40PH. Supposedly, in their last years on Amtrak, little was done to repair minor damage since they were expected to be scrapped to converted to cabbages anyway, as most of them were. |

| Title: |
AMTK 322 and 413 on Horseshoe Curve (date is estimated) |
| Description: |
This was taken in 1994 on the former Pennsylvania Railroad mainline (then Conrail) on the famous Horseshoe Curve near Altoona. Amtrak still operated the Broadway Limited between New York and Chicago, and this was it, headed by two EMD F40PHs, both now retired. The Broadway Limited has, for now, been replaced by the Manhattan Limited in Amtrak's timetable, and now all the power for the Philadelphia-Chicago (or at least Harrisburg-Chicago) leg is provided by G.E. Genesis P42s. This has always been one of my favorite "train" shots, even if it isn't great by the standards of orthodox photography, with no abstraction, merely average colors, too-perfect light, and nothing of interest to the non-railfan. |

AMTK 394 (date is almost certainly wrong other than the year) |
| Description: |
This photo iu a little bit grainy, which is a result of a high-contrast print being fed into a primitive scanner. I apologize in advance for that, but I posted it anyway because I love the composition. Maybe in the future I'll post a rescanned one, but for now this will have to do. |
